Coach Keedy was recently inducted to the Newport High School Hall of Fame. This was the second year for this event and he was (is) certainly deserving of the honor. Coach's long-time friend, Governor Mike Beebe introduced him so we had the honor of having him sit at our table for the dinner. We felt like Jake was still a little too young and rowdy for such an event, but Will was able to attend his first banquet honoring his "Coach".

Jake loves playing his "moosic" on his guitar. We often get treated to a concert after bath time. I think he was singing "Hey, Soul Sister" during this concert. He absolutely loves the song, and that's why it plays on my blog as the #1 song.

Gotta love this face

His idea...not mine. He thought mommy needed to look like a rock star too. He found the props and put them on me. However, I don't think the look is working too well for me. =) Cortney, if you happen to read this post, you may recognize the sunglasses on me. You gave them to me at one of my birthday parties when we were LITTLE. Will found them at my parents' house and thinks they are the coolest!! Who knew??

We continued the tradition of going to Batesville to see the fireworks show this year. Will took his friend Miller since most of our friends have children that are around Jake's age.

Lots of cute kiddos!

The girls had an agreement to never publish any of the photos taken of us that night. We were all in agreement that they were hideous. Chasing kids in July humidity in Arkansas is never a good combination for a good hair day! =)

Will went to St. Louis with Billy's parents to watch 3 Cardinal games. He absolutely loves the Cardinals, so to say he was excited about this trip is an understatement. In fact, he tried to get us to change our family vacation plans. He said it would be great to go to St. Louis for 8 days and go to a Cardinal game everyday...not my idea of fun though. Anyway, while he was at one of the games, he was filmed. This is a pic of him at the game how he appeared on TV.

About Me
